a springor other resilient having openorspaces in its-sides. his spring or.

y is. adapted-to" hold balls ofcamphor or other disinfecting agent and is closed at one end by means of a detachable strip to engage" the endconvolutions of the spring, when in place and hold the agent within the spr' for body. When the led the ends'of the body are brought toward each other and the sa d body is mserted'in" the bowl and pressure upon the ends is released, whereby the. said body may" e if thebowl' flex or s rin under the flan and is t useld in place. en so p'ositioned. the waterthat enters the bpwl willc0me :.in'contact with'the disinfecting ant and carry te same into the contents a the bowl.

The holder consists of a body 1, prefer-'- e of rubber,

tween its convolutio'ns. This spri is filled with. balls of camphor. or other disinfecting agent. One end of the body'is-closed by a strip-2 which 'isprovided with loops 3 which are slipped over the end coil of the spring 'and.wh1ch may be, turned upon the convolutions of the sprin tween the ends '0 end of the spring to, a desired position bethe spring. The other is closed by the extremity 4 of; thespring dlspo'se'd diametrically of the, spring.

-Whenthe parts are. ,thus assembled the end ortionsof the. 'sprin or -body are broug ttogether and the sai body is assed into a bowl and pressure is rele upon the endgortion's thereof. The flex or spring of the. ody will cause theendportions thereof to attempt to assume 'their normal positions and consequently the body is held under the flange 'of the bowl, 'asillustrated in Fi 20f t 0 drawing. When so posis tionef the water that enters the bowl will h the disinfect agent ve the same an carrv bowl. Thus the contents of the bowl are disinfected. The dripping's from the disinfecting agent also pass into the bowl, while the evaporation therefrom will pass intothe atmosphere and disinfect the same.
